Nina walks on the path around the pond. When she walks around the path one time, Nina has completed one lap. The table shows the distance Nina walks based on the number of laps she completes.
Number Of Laps: 2, 4
Number Of Miles: 1, 2
Complete each statement. 1 mile / 2 laps = _____ mi/lap
1 mile / 2 laps = 0.5 mi/lap
2 miles / 4 laps = ____ mi/laps
2 miles / 4 laps = 0.5 mi/lap
Pick the right answer
The rations in the table (show or do not show) a proportional relationship
The ratios in the table show a proportional relationship.
To find the miles per lap, we need to divide the total number of miles by the total number of laps. In this case, the table shows that Nina walks 1 mile for every 2 laps she completes.
So, to calculate the miles per lap, we divide 1 mile by 2 laps:
1 mile ÷ 2 laps = 0.5 mi/lap.
Therefore, 1 mile divided by 2 laps equals 0.5 mi/lap.
